Does balenaEtcher run on Linux?
Verdict: Yes
Yes. Balena makes balenaEtcher for Linux as well as Windows and Mac, and it is free. You download it from the Etcher site and it looks and works exactly as it does now.
balenaEtcher supports most Linux distributions alongside Windows 10 and later and macOS. Balena publishes Debian and Red Hat packages for it, which covers Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, Fedora and the systems built on them. It is free and open source, and Balena says it will stay that way.
Nothing about it changes. The same three steps, pick an image file, pick a drive, flash, with the same warning when you have chosen a drive that looks like it holds something you care about. Nothing is stored in the app, so there is nothing to move across.
It is not in most Linux app stores, so you download the file from the Etcher site and install it the same way you install any other downloaded package. That also means it will not update itself along with the rest of your system, and you go back to the site when you want a newer version.
If you write USB sticks often, Ventoy is worth a look instead. You prepare a stick once and then copy image files onto it like any other drive, with a menu at startup to pick between them.
